*Gavin and, his friend, Anna were playing cars together. He told us that they were going on a trip. Awesome Imagination!
*We asked Gavin what he is going to be for Halloween and he said ‘a pirate’.
*Gavin was pretending to be a cowboy and saying, ‘Yeah! Partner!’ So Silly!
*Before sitting down at the table for art, snack, or lunch, Gavin always asks, ‘Can I sit here?’ He is so sweet and polite all the time!
